The Alternative to Equilibrium Existence
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper establishes and interprets a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of (countably additive) correlated equilibrium in n-person games, assuming only that utility functions are bounded, measurable. A sequence of deviation profiles is consistent if there exists a correlated strategy that makes every profile in the sequence unprofitable with respect to the sum of utilities. An equilibrium exists if and only if every sequence of deviation profiles has a consistent subsequence. This condition fails to characterize Nash equilibrium. As a direct corollary, existence of (communication) equilibrium is characterized in games with incomplete information on type spaces large enough to include the universal one. Exact conditions for existence of approximate correlated equilibrium are also obtained, as well as a value for two-person zero-sum games. JEL Classification: C61, C72.

Existence results for equilibrium problems under strong sign property
This paper concerns equilibrium problems in real metric linear spaces. Considering a modified notion of upper sign property for bifunctions, we obtain the relationship between the solution sets of the local Minty equilibrium problem and the equilibrium problem, where the technical conditions on $f$ used in the literature are relaxed. The KKM technique is used to generalize and unify some exist...
متن کاملSome existence results for generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems
In this paper, we introduce and study a class of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problem, which includes many vector equilibrium problems, equilibrium problems, vector variational inequalities and variational inequalities as special cases. Using one person game theorems, the concept of escaping sequences and without convexity assumptions, we prove some existence results for ...
متن کاملExistence Results for Generalized ε-Vector Equilibrium Problems
This paper studies some existence results for generalized epsilon-vector equilibrium problems and generalized epsilon-vector variational inequalities. The existence results for solutions are derived by using the celebrated KKM theorem. The results achieved in this paper generalize and improve the works of many authors in references.
متن کاملOptimally Local Dense Conditions for the Existence of Solutions for Vector Equilibrium Problems
In this paper, by using C-sequentially sign property for bifunctions, we provide sufficient conditions that ensure the existence of solutions of some vector equilibrium problems in Hausdorff topological vector spaces which ordered by a cone. The conditions which we consider are not imposed on the whole domain of the operators involved, but just on a locally segment-dense subset of the domain.
متن کاملGlobal Stability of Predator-Prey System with Alternative Prey
A predator-prey model in presence of alternative prey is proposed. Existence and local stability conditions for interior equilibrium points are derived. Global stability conditions for interior equilibrium points are also found. Bifurcation analysis is done with respect to predator's searching rate and handling time. Bifurcation analysis confirms the existence of global stability in presence of...
متن کاملAlternative Conditions to Time Inconsistency Equilibrium of an International Monetary Policy
Monetary policy rule is an approach to avoid time inconsistency problem as regarded by new classical economist to choose a time plan for policy making in order to maximize householdsâ well-being. The foundation of time inconsistency problem is not coincidence of expectations as an ex-ante variable, which is expected variable, with actual variable as an ex-post variable. Expectations in Finn K...
